K-pop superstars BTS are bringing their acclaimed “THE CITY” immersive fan experience back to Las Vegas in May and Busan in June. This large-scale cultural program, announced by their agency BigHit Music, will coincide with the group’s highly anticipated “Arirang” world tour stops in both cities.
First launched in Las Vegas in 2022 during the “Permission to Dance on Stage” tour, “THE CITY” transforms host cities into a vibrant celebration for ARMY. The inaugural event saw major landmarks illuminated in purple, BTS’ iconic fan color. Fans can expect a similar array of BTS-themed cultural events, including mesmerizing fountain shows, captivating drone light displays, exclusive photo exhibitions, and dynamic multimedia art installations.
Most recently, “THE CITY” created an unforgettable experience in Seoul for the March 20 release of BTS’ highly anticipated fifth studio album, “Arirang,” which was followed by a landmark live performance in central Seoul.
In Las Vegas, “THE CITY” is scheduled from May 20 to May 31. BigHit Music promises an even more highly immersive experience for fans, building on successful partnerships with major local brands. Expect stunning visual displays that will once again transform iconic Las Vegas landmarks, creating a unique purple-hued celebration.
Busan will host “THE CITY” from June 5 to June 21, strategically timed to coincide with BTS’ anticipated two-night “Arirang” world tour concerts at Busan Asiad Main Stadium on June 12-13. A diverse range of engaging fan programs and themed events are currently being planned for the city. (Yonhap)
